As a musician, growing your audience is the ultimate goal and the best way to ensure that you earn a living from your talents. The current music industry is plagued with hurdles that make it hard for musicians to grow, not to mention the stiff competition. Here are some of the problems that most artists struggle with.

Struggles of musicians

Piracy

The biggest problem is piracy. This is where people distribute music that they have no intellectual right to. This is bad as it destabilizes the available distribution channels, and makes it very hard for the real artists to get their pay. There are ways to prevent this, but at the end of the day, they too cost money.

Getting a breakthrough

The music industry is full of musicians that are already established, and to get a piece of that pie, it takes a lot of work. Getting a breakthrough takes many years and requires consistency in music delivery.

Drug abuse

There is no exact explanation as to why many upcoming musicians tend to abuse drugs. It might have to do with the fact that most mainstream artists praise the use of drugs.

How to grow your music the right way

Practice

The first thing that you need to do is make sure that you keep practicing every day, for with practice comes perfection. This is a good way to ensure that your talent is on point, and ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice.

Use social media

To grow your presence, make sure that you have an online presence, and the best place to do this is social media. Open a Facebook or Twitter account, and be active on them. Engage with people, answer questions, and ask for feedback on your work.

Upload music to YouTube

Hosting music on private servers can be very hard, hence the need to use platforms such as YouTube. Here you can upload your music, free of charge and still be able to reach millions of potential fans. You can also monetize your music so that you make some money in the process.

Live on a budget

Learn to live according to your financial ability. Do not try copying established musicians, because you will end up inhibiting your growth. Rather than buying a gold chain, better use that money to record your songs in a better studio.

Strive to improve

You are only growing when the quality of your work improves. There are three primary sections that you have to pay close attention to. These include audio production, visual production, and content production.

Music and arts festivals like Coachella and Osheaga are on the rise; it is clear that people love having a good time. While a more traditional form of celebration, music festival is having a comeback. Every year, the above-mentioned festivals admit thousands of attendees, and they are just the tip of festivals iceberg.

While going to festivals, having a good time, and meeting new people is the main agenda—being well-prepared plays a great role in facilitating a real time. There are items and actions that most people forget to undertake, so we decided to make a checklist for all the music festival lovers. Before you go to your next one, make sure that you account for this list.

A list for the music festival goers

Tickets

Make sure that you have all the tickets before you set your feet out of the house. Without your ticket(s), you will not be admitted into the festivals, imagine what a waste that would be.

Map to festival

Lucky for you, you do not have to get paper maps, and have navigational skills, all thanks to Google maps and other similar apps. However, these maps use phone signals to give directions, and you might end up in a place with very little or poor cell phone coverage. Make sure to download all the maps that you will need for offline use. Google maps support this.

Schedule

Most festivals follow a very strict schedule, hence the need for you to keep time. Make sure that you have a copy of the festival’s program, whether as a soft or hard copy. Knowing where to be and at what time will ensure that you don’t miss out on any fun.

Cash

Along with your credit or debit cards, make sure that you have some cash. In a festival, it might be hard to find card processors, and you might have to make payments in cash.

Battery bank

If you want your smartphone to last for long—long enough to take all the selfies you need, then ensure that you have a battery bank with you. Smartphones are known to have poor batteries, hence the need for a backup.

Backpack

While in the festival, you will need to carry your items with you at all times. This is why you need a good bag.

Sunglasses

You have to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of sunlight, and bright stage lights; sunglasses will help you with this.…
